Experience Godspeed Said The Rain.

ALL SONGS WRITTEN, PRODUCED, AND ARRANGED BY KOOSHA AZIM

 

An album that bridges worlds of psychedelia, folktronica, and singer-songwriter music to construct a uniquely immersive environment.

Each track is a cinematic world with the backdrop of dynamic environments, stormy weather, and themes of adolescent love. The songs reflect war, life, pain, and surreal landscapes. This ‘rain’ – both a force of nature and ballistic catastrophe – forms the premise of the album’s theme.

This album borrows sounds from the streets of the San Francisco tenderloin to Seoul’s metro stations. Certain moments synthesize life in Taipei, Taiwan – from remote Taoist temples and teahouses to Taipei 101. The sounds capture locations and abstract feelings felt in these places.

GSTR is a cinematic experience without a screen or projector to uphold a predictable sequence of imagery. Listeners are invited to teleport between fictional worlds as they listen from start to finish. Each song depicts the essence of a new world: a truncated landscape filled with nature, machinery, and extraterrestrial energy.

Recorded from February – December 2022 across various locations.

A sonic abstraction of life in Seoul, Taipei, and California. The story of year 19.
